Employers. We can start with the transbay project and then move forward from there. So its kind of a multipronged approach and still a work in progress. Working with the unions, as well as the Building Trades to make sure that we have got them all aligned and identifying existing veterans in the union first, followed by any possible newhires and beating the bushs to make sure that we get veterans integrated. Kind of a lot to swallow, but i have a handout that outlines everything that we have done todate. Webcor obayashi has hired nine direct hire positions within our company. Turner at the recent u. S. Hornet career fair hired one and i think the key is developing the oneonone relationships with the sourcing agencies to find the veterans that are out there and get them into internships or apprenticeship programs so they can be hired. So that is my summary. Thanks. Thank you. The one other item on the veterans report that i wanted to highlight was that enville buildings was awarded the
Project, as well as the Construction Industry in general. I think its important to note that its not just about hiring veterans. Its about retention. And making sure that they succeed. And so on that note we have actually been looking at ways to ensure that they are going to succeed. Just as a best practices note from all the research i have done, we found that veterans need each other once they are back from their tours of duties. They actually should retain a cohort, which they can find of hang out with and be together. That is what were attempting to create with this whole construction hiring process as a way for them to still, like there are so many jobs in the city that are coming down the pike, we want to make sure that they have a network to stay connected with each other. So on that note were working with San Francisco unified school district, as well as integrating veterans preorientation programs there. As well as the Sf State University Veterans Club to generate internship p
Hard to tell, but the ab and c levels are in place in zones 1 and 2 and at far end, all the way down to the d level. Just a shot of some of the excavation and bracing going on and the conditions which the contractor is working under right now in zone 1. Micro piles continue. They have 70 completed todate, or by the end of november. Installing bracing, under the 1st street bridge between zones 2 and 3. Completing the trestle in zone 3. And excavation and bracing in zone 3 as it progresses along. The end section, the east end section, zone 4 buttress work continues. As i said they met the milestone of 162 and actually had 165 completed and continuing to get 2. 5 a week. Uptodate progress chart and you can see on the chart kept by the Program Management folks, the team was right on target for the completion of the buttress work. A couple of the buttresses being worked on over of the last period. The contractor has elected to put in a sheet pile cutoff wall in the northsouth division on di
561,000 craft hours through the end of november early december. A little more than 11,000 since we last spoke. The hours represent about 160200 workers in the field on any given day across multiple shifts that were running. And later in the report, there is a tally. That is over a thousand unique jobs during the Transit Center construction including utilities. So that is craft people, a thousand craft people having worked or touched this project as reported in the certified payroll system. The sc contractor made their milestone of 162 and actually completed 165 and is on track to finish on ontime. The excavation continues and the rains that we had a week or so ago slowed things down with a little mud at the bottom of the excavation, but it continues to move west to east and under fremont street is the next step. The access trestle was completed all the way to fremont street. So the contractors now have a construction roadway, so to speak all the way out to howard at the end of the west
